Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students attend a public kindergarten through eighth grade public school in a high poverty urban community in New Jersey.

They love the performing arts and are enthusiastic and responsive to everything I teach despite a lack of materials due to our limited budget.

My students love the spotlight and if they had the opportunity to participate in this musical theater workshop, I know they would shine. They know how to work hard and try their best, qualities that will make for a great production!

My Project

This workshop would allow for 75 children from a disadvantaged area to participate in a beautiful production for their peers, teachers, families, and communities. Thanks to DonorsChoose, we have had workshops with the same director, Akie Bermiss, once in 2012 ("Cinderella") and again in 2013 ("Willy Wonka"). Both productions were magnificent and allowed the participants to discover things about themselves that they had never known. It was truly rewarding to see how proud the community was of these students following both performances.

I want more students to get to experience that sense of pride and accomplishment.

I want them to learn how to act as an ensemble creating a masterpiece together. I know they will learn and love so much about the experience.
